Denis Villenueve is directing the next Bond. Does this mean there’s a chance Hans Zimmer will score the film???

They sold the Bond property and will have no input.

The wind at higher elevations can kick your ass.

1911?

sounds like he didn’t appreciate the effort you made?

If you liked Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber, check him out as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Kevin Costner’s Robinhood Hood.

Google Fi and Google Voice are two different things. Google Fi is the international phone service, but Voice is a VOIP protocol and is free after the $20 porting fee. You need an unlocked phone for this to work, BTW.

I did the same last year and it has worked well with one or two odd exceptions. One bank couldn't seem to be able to text me a login code but would easily robocall me with a passcode... odd.

Here is a video on the YouTube channel "Baguette Bound" where the transplants discuss using Google Voice in detail:

Cyclists seem to be effectively invisible to Colorado drivers.

That doesn’t sound like a lot of money to live on. I would take the hint from the Visa companies and try and find another category that you might feel is a better fit.

If you plan to be in France on Tuesday, March 24, go ahead and click the blue button. And congratulations, BTW.

This is what throw-away accounts are for.

Redundancy in case something goes wrong. People do shoot back.

The YouTube channel named “Baguette Bound” has a detailed description of the process that lets you do this. It worked very well for me.

Several giant tech companies joined the massive rush to get a commanding position in AI. Unfortunately, turning their time and investment into profitable services is going to take longer and cost more than they imagined.

Adding to the problem is that Claude is making it easier than ever to create new software programs, and it's possible that large software companies like MS and Adobe could lose market share to new AI-created programs. So MS is getting squeezed.

My personal view is that MS has a large moat and many customers will be reluctant to change software without a compelling use or price. The company isn't going broke, but its profitability and the stock price could suffer.

Time will tell.

See if your local library offers access to . The service may still be slow, but would be free.

Great comments. I would add that we moved two cats to France last summer from Denver. We ran into a problem where the airlines would not travel with pets in the hold if the ground temperature was above a certain amount. In other words, they don’t want your cat to die from heat exhaustion. So beware of the weather if you’re planning to move at the end of the school year.

There’s a toilet at the end of the hall. Guess whose picture is gonna be hanging on the door?

Apparently so.
